Re: 2013 Lineup Confirmation/Rumors Thread

What fucking idiots. As much as I know I don't need to disprove this... I can't stop myself.

No Doubt: Personally told me they're not playing Coachella. They were going to for 2012, but they pulled out to focus on their new album.
Muse: If you still think Muse is gonna headline, only 3 years after the last time, with 3 dates in January at Staples Center, please leave this thread alone.

Re: 2013 Lineup Confirmation/Rumors Thread

MGMT is more likely than Muse to headline this year, even without an album to support them. At least they don't have conflicting shows on the other side of the country during Coachella (yet, anyway). Plus they're headlining some second rate festival in Penn, confirming their interest in festivals 2013. Sometime after their Latin American tour, but before the Penn show, in order to support their upcoming album. Maybe this one's already been covered though

Sounds good. Anything else you feel the overwhelming need to prove to me? The power of Christ compels you! Actually, after some sort of bad pokeballs, I stopped doing most everything but alcohol and wax dabs. Do excuse me if I haven't tripped to your liking. Feel free to amend the situation with tabs =)

What is it this year with people suggesting bands that are not big enough to headline to headline.
MGMT, Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs... they're all bands with 3 hits. By the same logic, why is Passion Pit not being considered to headline? They have about the same amount of popularity...

It's safe to assume that neither will headline, though MGMT might make the bill. I didn't mean to mislead you with false hope =)

They did Vegas 5 weeks before Coachella with a routing that makes little sense(crossing the continent 4 times) and has lots of downtime. It also makes me think Blur is a strong candidate for SXSW.

To be honest, The Strokes are much bigger than Blur at least here in the US. The biggest NYC headlining show Blur ever played was at Hammerstein Ballroom which has a capacity of 3900 in 2003. Maybe if they play couple shows in big markets (ex: Pulp), they'll make some money but for most part of the country, they're still remembered as "Song 2" band in my opinion. They'll never do an arena size tour here. But I guess that's a good thing for us because they sold out 80,000 ticket show in London in August in 5 minutes! I highly doubt they'll play Coachella but you might be right about SXSW. Here's the last US tour dates from 2003:

lol!

Lick an orange, it tastes like an orange. Lick a pineapple, it tastes like a pineapple. Go ahead, try it. Try some more. The strawberries taste like strawberries. The snozzberries taste like snozzberries! We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. Come along, come along.

If our time is not pleasant then goddammit yours certainly will not be.
